young actor \. D. Wool, bids fair 10 play 10
over crowded houses. Dir. Wood has
always scored = success here. and the call for
advance seats has been far above the aver
gee. The Waits of New York" is based
upon the struggles OF a youth whose apnbi-
ton leads him TO seek higher aim in life.
From al obscure newsboy the hero adj
sauees towards the point proposed, and
when the curtain falls he IS pronounced
veritable hero. Incidental 10 the play are
realistic pictures OF life in the great metrop-
oils. The audience are introduced 30

"On the RID Grande." the new melodrama

| Jordan, Marty Hawk, and Mark Price, the
author appear ia the cssf The Cincinnati
Commercial. Gazette says OF the play which
was produced there last week: THE play
opens with a delightful little bit of comedy
| business between the ladies Of the company,
most of who1 sge quite good looking. and
| is followed BY many of the main facts OF
| the story. which LEAD up to a powerful and
thrilling climax ct the end o. the first act.
When the chstan fell al this point in the
performance the applause was deafsning.
The reception was Very. fSttering. Ana. Il
the first set was absorbing, the remaining
ones was only successive steps OF still more
dramatic intensity and power. The action
was rapid, and each act Was crowded with
enough action and incident to make an
ordinary romantic play. When the curtain
fell on the last the audience arose to its
feet aud fsirly shouted its approval and
hearty appreciation. The company Is all
that can be desired"
